Imagine exchanging vows with the Mediterranean Sea as your backdrop, followed by a reception on the deck of a luxury yacht. A marbella boat rental wedding reception offers an unforgettable setting for your special day. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a lavish party, our fleet of 18 boats departing from Puerto Banús provides the perfect venue. From €749 for a two-hour charter to all-inclusive packages with a skipper and drinks, we make your wedding celebration seamless and spectacular.
Why Choose a Boat for Your Wedding Reception in Marbella
Marbella's coastline is a natural stage for a wedding. A boat rental gives you privacy, stunning views of La Concha mountain, and the freedom to anchor at exclusive spots like Cala del Faro or off the Golden Mile. Unlike a hotel ballroom, a yacht offers a dynamic setting where you can cruise, stop for photos, and dance under the stars. With all-inclusive pricing, you avoid hidden costs—just bring your decorations and enjoy.
Our Fleet: The Best Yachts for Your Celebration
Choose from a range of vessels, each departing from Puerto Banús. For a luxurious reception, the Ferretti 94 (29m, 12 guests) offers expansive deck space and a flybridge. The Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 guests) is a favourite for its sleek lines and included jet ski—perfect for a fun photo op. For a more intimate affair, the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 guests) or Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 guests) provide excellent value at €749/2h up to €2,299/8h. All boats include a licensed skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, insurance, and VAT.
Wedding Reception Package Ideas
We offer flexible packages to suit your vision. A two-hour sunset cruise (from €749) is ideal for a small ceremony and champagne toast. For a full reception, book a four-hour charter on a Mangusta 80 (from €4,719) with a free jet ski for entertainment. An eight-hour celebration on the Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m, 12 guests) allows time for cruising to Estepona, anchoring at Cala Cortés, and a sit-down dinner. You can also bring your own catering or arrange a private chef—just let us know in advance.
What's Included: No Hidden Surprises
Every charter comes with a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA (21%). This means you can focus on your celebration without worrying about extra costs. For larger groups, we can accommodate additional catering or decorations. Tier B boats (Mangusta 80 variants) also include a free jet ski, adding a touch of adventure to your reception.
Planning Your Itinerary: Scenic Routes and Photo Spots
Departing from Puerto Banús, your captain can tailor the route to your preferences. Popular options include cruising towards Cabopino for its natural dunes, heading west to Estepona for a colourful old town backdrop, or anchoring at Cala del Faro for a secluded cove. The Golden Mile offers iconic views of Marbella's luxury hotels and La Concha mountain. For sunset photos, position the boat off the coast of Río Verde for golden-hour light.
